Neither [Man With a Plan or The Great Indoors] is groundbreaking or particularly exciting; both are quite likable and solidly constructed. Read full review

A show that offers few laughs and just as much entertainment. Read full review

The writers deliver a stale idea. Read full review

As far as comfortable, mediocre family sitcoms go, Man with a Plan appears to be finding a nice groove, establishing a patter between easy stereotypes and incrementally encouraging Adam to grow. Read full review

Chemistry wasn’t the problem with either version of the pilot. Indeed both actresses are fine in the role, as is LeBlanc; it’s the show itself that could use some work. Read full review

Oct 21, 2016

Man with a Plan is not a good show, even by low sitcom standards, and far away from the effective multi-cam format CBS has become used to employing in its massive hit lineup. Read full review

This is one of the least authentic family sitcoms on TV, right down to the horrible home set, which looks like it was cribbed from the scraps of canceled shows. Read full review

This is hands down the greatest TV show ever created. Le Blanc is on point, his prowess on full display. The set is gorgeous, I found myself pausing the show just to admire it. The writing is unbelievably good, I laughed so hard I had to change my underwear three times in one episode. TheThis is hands down the greatest TV show ever created.

The story of this TV show may be pretty far from being original, but it's a very kind and funny with pleasant characters. Have no idea why there are so many negative reviews here.

I'll admit it. I don't like Matt LeBlanc. I thought he played a serviceable idiot on Friends but I just don't buy him in any other roles. When I heard he was co-hosting Top Gear I just knew the series was a goner. You can always tell your watching a bad show by the delivery of theI'll admit it. I don't like Matt LeBlanc.

You can always tell your watching a bad show by the delivery of the actors. It's almost like they're wincing as the words come out of their mouths. Kevin Nealon's talents are completely wasted here. The kids are the most interesting part of the show. CBS is usually slow on the trigger when it comes to canceling shows but I don't see how this mess can possibly survive.… Expand

I loved his show Episodes so I was really disappointed in this. He played a wonderful role in Episodes, I truly thought he wouldn't do anything as bad as Pucks ( the tv show in the tv show Episodes).

Matt LeBlanc is just not believable in this role. I mean he could just phone it in and be the same. I really expected his character to shout "Yo, I'm Joey" a few times. I mean Matt just stands there and speaks his lines. No movement; no emotion -- just another one dimensional Joey fromMatt LeBlanc is just not believable in this role.

No movement; no emotion -- just another one dimensional Joey from friends. I think the thing that irked me was the arguing with the kindergarten teacher - over and over and over. Seriously, my kids don't even take a bad joke this far. Another bad show this season.… Expand

I hope Matt LeBlanc's plan is to find a television show that is actually entertaining to watch because this new show is light years away from being entertaining.

It is a series with nothing theme relevant. There is nothing funny because it seems a mixture of other programs that also failed. Nothing groundbreaking.
